The French chief of Eurotunnel, fighting battles on several fronts, has confessed that the Channel tunnel operator is working in a “hostile environment” with Eurostar but dismissed as “bull****” claims from its main customer that it was being ripped off.

Eurotunnel is under unprecedented attack from regulators and is in dispute over demands from the UK Competition Commission that it close its nascent MyFerryLink cross-Channel ferry operation, which runs in competition with P&O and DFDS.

It is also in dispute with the European Commission over claims that there should be an investigation into Eurotunnel’s access-charging tariffs.
